The President has countermanded the
order of the War Department to restore
to the States, North and South, the
battle. flags captured during the War of
the Rebellion. The flags are justly
held to be the property of the nation,
and can only be legally disposed of by
the action of Congress. In this episode,
Mr.. Cleveland's usual sagacity is more
in the sober second thought
than in the original order.

prior to his death, indeed from the day of his

prehensive notes from his friends. "His life
was thought to be in DANGER" said Gen.
Swain, "and number Of prophecies were

 Poverty aud Heathenism.

The condition of the non Christian world can hardly be realized by us 1 of this country. We can form no ad, .luate idea of the actual condition oi ! the great mass of mankind living in he athen lands.
 The conspicuous feature of heath ism is poverty--a poverty so abjec, that we can not comprehend it. We, in this Christian land, know nothing ing about poverty. We have never seen it. What we call poverty is wealth-luxury - compared to the poverty of heather lands. Take the the worst case of poverty .to be found in the great cities of our country, those places which fill you with hor. TOT after you have passed them, all the filthy abodes of guant sQualor, and they will hardly serve to paint a picture of heathenism. Their power. ty is not occasional, not in exception. al cases of deep misery, but universal continent wide. A thousand million of individuals sit in the reign of dark ness and death, passing through life without hope; in hunger, nakednesS, bestiality, scarcely subsisting on roots and herbs and the precarious supply nature unSubdued by reason may pro- duce. Those of them living under forms of government and semi. civih. zation, which in measure regulates property and enforces industry, after their tyrants have robbed thein of their earnings do not average for the subsistence of themselves aid children, three cents a day, or its eqjvalent; not enough to subsist an animal. Multitudes not half fed nor half clothed live in pens and stye, not fit for swine, with no provisions whatever, for their human wants. We read of the magnifcence of the Mi. kados and Rajahs, and the pomp of court, of great temples, palatial res. dences and beautiful landscapes, and say within ourselves that the cond.- ton of the heathen is not so bad aft .r all This is a delusion. The mls.r- able, groplng, sinful millions; home, less, imbruted, friendless, doomed to live and die without one ray of light or beam of hope are there, not in small numbers crouching away in { he byways and hiding themselves as m. fortunates from fellows, but are thsye in millions, filling all those fancy. pictured lands and cities and apEall. ing us by their numbers,
 These are facts, not fancies, and as we consider them the questions naturally arise: Can their condition be improved1 And have we not a du- ty to perform in ameliorating tteir sad state1 X,
